First week of field work with @kcsap_project in #Kericho,Kenya. We are working with KSCAP to assess mitigation of GHGs from dairy systems in Kenya.We conduct farmer surveys on dairy practices and measure productivity (heart girth and milk yields) @ArndtClaudia @linus_erick @ILRI

The Earth right now is far warmer than the previously measured record for this time of year. Even with a growing El Niño, the pace and size of the uptick that we've seen this year is pretty shocking.

This is extremely misleading! Methane from livestock isn't as bad as methane from FF BUT the livestock are still disrupting the natural carbon cycle (where the decomposing plant material would go back directly as CO2) and converting that CO2 to a short-lived but potent GHG.
Sam Knowlton@samdknowlton

Methane emissions from cattle and fossil fuels differ fundamentally and should not be conflated. Methane emitted by cattle is part of a natural or biogenic cycle. Cattle transform existing carbon in the form of plants and fibrous material into methane through their digestive process. Once released, this methane breaks down after about ten years and becomes water and CO2 molecules. The CO2 and H2O are cycled back into new plant material and the cycle continues. Fossil fuel emissions, unlike those from livestock, release long-sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere, disrupting the natural carbon cycle. By lumping emissions from livestock together with those from fossil fuels, cattle are unfairly vilified when in reality they are an important tool for ecosystem restoration and a source of nutrient-dense sustenance.

🌎 ❌ We are crossing more and more planetary boundaries. Today, six boundaries are crossed. Two more are closing in on transgression. Decisive policy action can change this as we have shown with the recovery of the ozone layer. Read more: buff.ly/3Znyu2P

#IPCC's latest report 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23 shows that current policies are not on track to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C. Tomorrow, the @UN Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres convenes a Climate Ambition Summit at #UNGA to accelerate ambition, credibility & implementation.

Earth just had its hottest three months on record - @WMO & @CopernicusECMWF Limiting human-caused #GlobalWarming requires #NetZero CO2 emissions. Limiting warming to 1.5°C & 2°C involves rapid, deep & in most cases immediate #GHG emission reductions. ➡️bit.ly/WMOPRHt

Our latest publication shows that #N2O emissions from sheep excreta in #Kenya are 10-times lower than #IPCC defaults. Without local data, #GHG inventories might overestimate emissions from African #livestock. @ArndtClaudia @ILRI @Project_ESSA sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Sonja Leitner@sonja_leitner

Our paper on #GHG #emissions from sheep excreta was published today! Excreta #N2O emissions were 10 times lower than IPCC defaults, highlighting the need for local mitigation data from African #livestock. #mazingiracentre @ILRI #AfricaClimateSummit23 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
